Re: sainfoin saga

I planted it for a winter crop, since it likes cool weather, and in south TX, that means Nov 1- Mar 1.

Some of it came up okay, and what did had a few flowers. But I would say it was not a success.

HOWEVER, I also firmly believe that the problem *I* encountered was a serious drought. I suspect if we had been blessed with rain and we had none, zip, zero, nada, not a single drop -- it might have come up better. I don't know. Of course, the whole thing was a gamble anyway, sainfoin being totally foreign to this corner of the world.

At this time, (Spring 2012) I do not have plans to try it anytime soon. Perhaps for the Winter of 2012-2013? Assuming the world doesn't end when the Mayan calendar does in Dec. . . .

i had some success, but their simply was not the volume of blooms to draw much attention for the girls. you know they like it when there are LOTS of blossoms to work. if i had a patch of a few acres i think it would have been much better.
